Emperor of Arcane

The sun was rising, lighting up the lush green wilderness.

By the river to the north of the village, there are faint weeds growing in the fields that are about to be plowed in spring.

More and more people gathered at the entrance of the northern village.

There was a buzzing noise.

Quite a few are attracted by job recruitment.

There are also some people watching. They have finished handling the fishing tools, but they do not believe in this so-called recruitment.

In their view, most nobles only know how to squeeze them and collect more taxes on their heads.

Even so, they were happy to come and watch the fun.

Spring plowing has not yet begun, and idleness is idleness.

The villagers in Haiwan Village are not wealthy. They have just survived a winter, and most of them have a look of shame on their faces.

They wore patched coarse linen clothes, and what attracted everyone may not be the possible daily salary of 5 copper coins, but the full meal.

In sharp contrast to the noisy crowd were the cart drivers who came with the convoy.

They are all strong and strong, with proud smiles on their faces.

They were arranged to rest in a wooden cabin outside the lord's mansion last night. Although their status was not free, no one wanted to leave.

Butler Ralph was sitting at the long table, with Old John and Captain Sean standing next to him, and the gray-haired village chief Field introduced the villagers in his ear.

Except for a few soldiers stationed at the Lord's Mansion, everyone in the convoy lined up.

Several carriages loaded with goods were placed on both sides, which aroused the curiosity of the little guys.

Butler Ralph nodded to Old John beside him, who tried his best and shouted in a rich voice:

"Quiet!"

The noise stopped suddenly!

What really made everyone obey was not the heavily armed soldiers, nor was it Old John's burly and powerful body.

But the box of yellow copper coins in Butler Ralph's hand!

Ding-ding-ding-ding!

Butler Ralph picked up a large pile of copper coins and gently threw them on the table. The dancing little copper coins deeply attracted everyone's attention.

Done!

Butler Ralph nodded to the people behind the long table, distributed the prepared papers and pens, and broke the silence with a clear voice:

"The purpose of calling everyone here this time is for the Lord to renovate the village's protective wall."

"Anyone aged 16 or above but below 60, regardless of gender, can register."

"Each person has five copper coins per day, wages are paid daily, and a full meal is provided at noon for half a month. Each person will receive an additional 5 copper coins as reward for each day advanced!"

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone in Bay Village immediately became excited.

"Male or female? Is it true or false?"

"If wages are paid on a daily basis, we will only suffer a loss for one day at most..."

“Why not those over 60 years old?”

"I'm too old. I'm sure I can't do any work. I'll be rejected..."

"Go and call your mother and sister quickly..."

"Yes, remember to call you aunt..."

Everyone gathered together and talked about it, some of them couldn't believe it.

Some people with brighter minds looked at the children watching the theater and asked them to return home quickly and called out the busy women.

Seeing that the time was ripe, Butler Ralph continued to speak loudly:

"Okay, time is precious. People from four different areas have to queue up to register."

"Children and the elderly can also come out and register to receive a meal. Those with a whole family who have already arrived will be given priority to register."

"Everyone, please wait in line for me. Anyone who dares to mess around will be immediately disqualified from participating. Soldiers, keep an eye on me!"

"yes!"

After experiencing the fighting last night and the training of the long journey, except for the dozen timid cart drivers, everyone was incorporated into the ranks of soldiers by Matthew.

Each person can receive 20 silver coins per month!

While crying with gratitude, I naturally and absolutely uphold the order and authority of the lord!

Seeing these murderous soldiers, the people of Haiwan Village suddenly fell silent. Most people did not dare to be arrogant. A few people secretly curled their lips in dissatisfaction, but they did not dare to show it.

"What's your name? How many people are there in your family? Are there any professionals? What skills do you have?"

"My name is Katme, I am 31 years old, and there are five people in my family."

"This is my mother Huosulun, 47 years old this year, this is my wife Aina, 30 years old this year, and these are my two sons Adam and John."

"I can cut trees and do carpentry. My two sons are 12 years old, and they can also help..."

"They are too young. The lord has other arrangements. Go and line up nearby. This is your number. Come over for dinner with your number later."

"..."

A total of 20 people were recorded and registered, and the village chief Field confirmed the authenticity.

In about an hour, the population data and household registration status of the entire Bay Village were clearly understood.

Matthew, who came belatedly with sleepy teeth, briefly looked through it.

"There are 2,346 people in total, including 651 children under the age of 15."

"There are 30 professionals, 15 warriors, 10 hunters, and 5 rogues. Only the old village chief Field is a level 6 intermediate hunter."

"There are a total of 1,455 people aged 16 to 60, and there are only 240 people over 60 years old..."

Compared with most villages in the Carr Plain, Bay Village has fewer elderly people because it is more dangerous and there is an extreme lack of medical resources.

Holding a thick stack of household registration information in his hand, Butler Ralph realized the huge benefits of doing so.

"In this way, the details of the entire territory will be clear. If it is extended in the future..."

"Is this the real purpose of the lord? From this point of view, leading everyone to prepare to build the wall is probably just a warm-up before the plan..."

"Maybe, I can study hard..."

Matthew remained calm and calm, teased the greedy fangs, looked at the dark forest a few kilometers away and said:

"Let Angela and Old John bring all the newly selected soldiers, organize their equipment, and bring some construction tools."

"Today, we focus on cleaning up the dark forest to avoid danger to them who cut down the trees."

"Arrange Captain Sean to lead regular soldiers to guard the supplies and pay attention to any possible intelligence personnel."

Butler Ralph nodded, and then quickly began to make arrangements. Soon everyone discovered that they were quickly divided into two large parts, and then divided into several small parts.

Some of the weaker middle-aged people were assigned to the area outside the village and started digging deep ditches along the square route that Matthew had just drawn.

The weaker women arranged to start preparing lunch for the whole village.

Some young men with strong physiques and experience in logging were arranged to follow the soldiers to the dark forest a few kilometers away.

All the professionals were called out, and under the leadership of the old village chief, they would follow Matthew.

Their mission is to guard against dangers in the dark forest and prepare to solve the troubles that have been plaguing Bay Village.
